Title
RNA Viruses and Antibody Response
Subject
Viruses RNA
Description
Infectious diseases represent a major, global-level public health concern. Clinically important RNA viruses (for example, Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), Dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), influenza virus and SARS) garner increased attention due to the frequent emergence and re-emergence of pathogens. Epidemiological data show increasing evidence for the importance of antibody-mediated protection against RNA viruses, highlighting the possibility of using antibodies in therapeutic or prophylactic treatments. In this Special Issue, we focus on the adaptive immune response (particularly the antibody response) mediated by RNA virus infections. We invite research studies focusing on the evaluation of antibody responses, epitope identification, antibody-based diagnostic assays development, and vaccine developments. New investigative techniques or methods for the improvement of antibody profiles and the promotion of the health status of hosts are also within the scope of this Special Issue.
